Audio CD with Video

Thanks in advance to those who share how to do this.
A music client wishes me to include his music video on his music Audio
cd, like major record labels and discmakers offer. How might I go about putting audio to play in a cd player and video and menus on a computer. It appears what vegas calls a multimedia cd is different from what the music business calls a multimedia cd.
Thanks

You need to make what is called a CD Extra, there are diffrent ways to do it depending on what burning software you use. Basically there are 2 diffrent "sessions" burned on the disc. When you put it in the Cd player it will read the first session which contains all the audio tracks that are on the CD. When you put it in a CD-ROM drive the computer will read the second session which will usually contain a autorun and exe file that will start a program usually a menu will pop up and you can find video clips and web links and things like that. It can get a little complicated, but I have done it a few times for a local band that I do promotional work for.

In Easy Cd Creator, click on File, then "New CD Layout" and then on either "CD Extra" or "Mixed Mode CD." "CD Extra" is the format used for most commercial audio CDs that have audio plus data.
